Beyond Workshops
We offer a variety of ways to support your teachers beyond a workshop setting.
Educational Technology Profile
Professional development works best when it’s designed around the needs of the teachers. The
Educational Technology Profile is a 15-minute online self-assessment that gathers information on
educators’ technology skills and infusion practices within a school or district. The information may
be used to design a professional development plan to address participants' needs. The follow-up
report provides school and district leaders a data summary and recommendations that spotlight
faculty strengths and professional development opportunities.
Expert on Call
The Expert on Call delivers one-hour professional development sessions to one teacher or many
over the web. Expert consultation with one of our Apple Professional Development Facilitators
includes curriculum design, leadership, content creation ideas, and curriculum integration related
to lessons, units, and projects.
Onsite Coaching and Mentoring
As an alternative to a workshop, we offer in-class coaching and small-group mentoring. These jobembedded sessions bring an Apple Professional Development Facilitator into the classroom to work
with teachers on specific skills, teaching strategies, or lesson demonstrations. Our sessions also offer
a flexible structure to work with a group of teachers during preparation times or planning periods to
support planning and implementation of new skills.
Workshop Series
The Workshop Series is a set of workshops delivered over time, with the same APD Facilitator. This
offers flexibility for groups of teachers or administrators to work together, either as train-the-trainer
teams or as study cohorts.
Custom Workshop Development
This premium offering provides schools and districts a way to leverage workshops to address unique
challenges or initiatives in your organization. Apple can develop custom versions of the workshops
coupled with onsite delivery.
